In October’s edition of the Semantic Web Gang, a full complement of regulars is joined by Radar Networks‘ CEO Nova Spivack and Chief Architect Jim Wissner in a discussion of Twine.
Unveiled at the Web 2.0 Summit in November 2007 and released in beta earlier this year, version 1.0 of Twine was opened to the world toward the end of October, and widely reported (See RWW coverage of Twine.)
In this discussion we touch upon the purpose of Twine, review the first few days of live operation, and then focus upon the team’s plans for the future.
When originally announced, Twine was closely associated with the Semantic Web, although the company’s current marketing is less quick to make that link. In conversation we discover more about priorities for the 1.0 release and dig into some of the ways in which semantic technologies will play an increasingly important role moving forward.

In this edition of the Semantic Web Gang, regular members are joined by three guests to discuss the investment potential of the Semantic Web and semantic technologies.
With continuing investment in (and acquisition of) companies for whom semantic technologies are a key part of their proposition, we explore the extent to which investors are interested in ’semantic technology’ per se, and look at recent investments from Union Square Ventures to illustrate the wider discussion. A number of entrants to this year’s TechCrunch 50 event feature a semantic technology focus, and we also look at these with the help of Union Square’s Brad Burnham, TechCrunch’s Erick Schonfeld, and VentureBeat’s Chris Morrison.

In this edition of the Semantic Web Gang, guests Peter Mika and Giovanni Tummarello join the regular members to discuss search and the Semantic Web. With much excitement around the topic and cutting edge developments such as SearchMonkey and Sindice there are many issues for the gang to discuss. The need to clearly communicate the benefits of any new technology surfaces as a strong theme throughout the discussions, as does the need to improve the range and quality of vocabularies for describing data on the Semantic Web.
Gang regular Alex Iskold was unavailable for this call. Standing in for regular chair Paul Miller was gang member Tom Heath.
